Logitech G - G203 Prodigy

Tbf he mentioned he’s a non-competitive gamer. I have a G203 Lightsync and G305 Lightspeed and as a non-competitive gamer myself I don’t notice a difference between the two sensors. In fact I sort of prefer the G203 because it’s lighter. And I doubt OP will want to get into AAA to AA adapters with lithium batteries etc. 

so am i clown for using a g203 ?? i like the shape i also have a g90 (g100s indian) that I also really like and have wanted a similar shape for quite some time (to the g90)

G203 is considered a small mouse. And the DA essential more medium entering on large. [Check them out on eloshapes.](https://www.eloshapes.com/mouse/compare?p=razer-deathadder-essential-vs.-logitech-g203-lightsync-vs.-steelseries-rival-3-vs.-royal-kludge-m30)

for small-medium sized hands i recommend g102 (or w/e the equivalent in US is called) and xm1r both similar in shape with very good and precise sensor

i got one for 25 aud, was a good mouse for the price

get a g203, viper mini, deathadder essential, literally any "reputable brand" other than redragon. redragon still uses prehistoric avago laser sensors that werent good when they released 10 years ago, the fact that they sell them is insane

compared to any other $25 mouse the g203's switch implementation is fine. it was only an issue ~6 years ago when they used the 50m's, ever since the superlight theyve had top tier debouncing or opticals on all their mice. it's only a concern if youre buying their older midrange mice

No, it’s not comfortable at all. Try budget options from other brands. I used it for around 4 years, my girl has this mouse from 2 and a half years, both of us didn’t get used to it fully, it has an awkward shape.

I’ve had this mouse for 6 years. I have the G203 Prodigy edition. Incredible mouse, still holds up today. However, I strongly recomand an AttackShark X3 or a VXE R1. Both are wireless mice, much better than the current g203 and have 3395 sensors. The VXE has a longer lasting battery of around 150 hours. Both mice cost the same as a g203 but both weigh only 50grams

i was between this and the orochi v2. I already owned a g102. I chose the orochi at the end ofthe day cause g305 is too heavy. But i regret it. Orochi has too narrow shape making you hold it with a tighter grip that tires the hand. Also i get used to g102 when i am at home and then need to "relearn" the orochi while i am at work which is an extra hassle.

Need a mouse in the 60-70 AUD range, What I am looking for is: 1. Medium in size, I used the razer deathadder, logitech g102 before, The deathadder felt nice, g102 was a bit smaller but manageable. 2. good buttons, Specially a good wheel. Among the 3 gaming mice(3rd being aorus m2 lol) I've used in my life, all 3 of their wheels got fvcked in like less than a year. The m2 lasted a whole before fully killing the wheel. G102 was alright, it works most of the time but not always. And the worst being deathadder, Both the wheel and the cable died under 3 months wtf. 3. not ugly. It doesn't have to be pretty But I saw mouses with goofy lighting which legit looks like sticker(could be sticker idk). 4. weight doesn't matter that much since I'll not be using it for competitive or hardcore gaming. 5. wireless Thank you.

If your hand isn't humongous, then you might like the shape of VXE R1 Pro. Reviewers say this is the king of budget mice because it is on par with premium mice, they say it is basically a "clone" of the much more expensive logitech gpx. It has ergonomic shape, comfortable, not a spaceship on your desk. If you do decide to get it, get the Pro variant, not the cheaper variants, and not the Pro Max. Just "Pro". Because of switches. This is a FPS mouse, so standard 2 main buttons, clickable mousewheel, plus only 2 side buttons, (MMORPG gaming mice have more side buttons). Has wired versions. You can also go with the much cheaper Logitech G203, but expect the switches to start double clicking within its first year. So this mouse is only viable if you have some soldering skills, or know someone, so you could replace the switches. Otherwise, its complete waste of money. It is also a lot heavier than VXE R1, annoying if you are used to using lightweight mice. But it is dirt cheap. In the end, if you can find a mouse that you like the shape, the shape, the weight, thats all that matters. Because you can replace the insides (aka mouse modding). You can replace switches, use grip tape, change the under skates, etc.

Lol I have 2 mice Ones 10y old Double clicks Even the g203 lightsybc double clicks The best part is the dpi button started double clicking LMAO anyways I have some kailhs in em now

Yup. 100% of my Logitech mice got the double click problem

G Pro wired, 2x G203 and G303. All four starting double clicking after 1-2 years

Razer deathadder essential, logi g102, Razer viper mini (if u can find), don't ever go for bloody... Those are scam mice. I personally use g502x wired and love it

Logitech G203 Lightsync is a great budget choice, use solaar for configuration

I have the wired G203 and I like it alot.

It used to have good sensor (Mercury) while back, but they changed it to cheaper sensor that can cause spinout at as low as 2.3m/s. It was already talked about [here](https://new.reddit.com/r/MouseReview/comments/j7i6ws/psa_the_g102g203_lightsync_does_not_feature_the/) and see in [this](https://imgur.com/a/0yhH1hA) image. This was good choice, but for the price chinese wireless mice with 3395 sensor are superior to G203.

I'd agree with that. My first one I bought in 2017 lasted me the longest. It was before it was branded as "light sync". Ever since they switched to the light sync models I've noticed a big drop off in longevity so I think you are right. I can't recommend them anymore.

This. Ive been PC gaming since 2016, have went through 4 of these each time with the exact same issue - left click starts double clicking. 2-4 hour daily use and it started anywhere from 6 months to year and a half each time. Id avoid.

I'm not into soldering and have no one to do it for me. I don't doubt it's easy. That said, terrible quality control. Good mouse otherwise.

Time to time lurker here. I got my first gaming mouse around 2019-ish; it was the Logitech G102 Prodigy. After some time, I learned about the Strix Impact II here and got one due to the shape being similar and hotswappable primary switches after a few G102 double-clicking, but now the scroll wheel started to jitter or jump. I don't know the proper term. On the software side, I used Ghub the longest, and compared to ROCCAT's and Armory Crate, there was another lighter Ghub. I can't recall the name or if it was portable, but I would have preferred it over Armory Crate for the Strix Impact II, but at least it's not like Roccat's software that bricked a mouse. I've worn cotton gloves to manage sweat before; it wasn't comfortable, so I'm curious about the Ace Mini's coating, but I like the hump on the Ace Extreme; the size seems closer to the Strix Impact II.

yes i bought refurbished g102 no issues since 1yr

My friend got me one in november, and a couple of months ago it started to double clicking and the scroll is fucked, so take that in consideration, no more cheap logitech for me.

G203 is good enough even at competitive level. If it fits your hand then go with it. I have G305 which is exactly same shape and dimensions but it's wireless and hero sensor with long last battery life and i have not regretted. I've also had G203.

Am curretly using logi g102 (wired verion... its a good mouse if u aint beat ur mouse doing butterfly clicking like me..) and logitech software is also really good... Never used any razer mouse... might be change to razer later or if am lucky then attack shark x3..

I've gone through five G203s, and now this XPRO Superlight 2 is starting to feel mushy after just 5 months. I'm about to RMA it. Honestly, every single Logitech mouse I've owned has ended up needing an RMA.

I've been using a logitech G203 for like 3-4 years now? It's honestly a fantastic mouse, and I haven't felt a need to upgrade.

zowie b v2 series has really thick plastic walls, much thicker than the newer c or d series. or just regular b series but that's downgraded in a lot of ways. if u can find either of them new. there's also metal mice but the base is generally brittle plastic with honeycomb holes and quite easy to crack since the metal doesn't bend to give any structural leeway, if you drop it on the base it'll break even easier than a plastic mouse. g102/203 are ok too but outdated sensor wise. ironically the older g pro wired is better, especially the oldest 3366 variant (you can distinguish them via sticker shape on the bottom and cable). g305 is ok too but the clicks on mine went to shit after a while so i just use the g pro 3366 instead. the pro intellimouse also has some fans seems fairly well built, but i've never tried it.

Depends a lot on your budget. I have g203. Really great mouse.

Then go with it. This flexing issue could be easily fixed with tape. $30 is a banger considered when G102 costs you the same on Amazon

I have a Logitech G102. It's a nice, no-nonsense gaming mouse that won't break the bank. 6 buttons, a little RGB, and comes in some fun colours.

well, let's be honest. They are mediocre at many many products, but their mice, even the cheap ones, are good. really good. Had a G102 (bought for $15) for three years, and i was gaming 8hours per day. zero absolutely zero complains. Around the 3 year-mark, the middle button started double clicking once per ten clicks on average. $5 per year of hardcore use, sounds like a deal to me.

My logitech g203 prodigy only started double clicking after 6 years, but I haven't used it heavily.

Man, I can't move on from my g102. It was cheap, ever since I swapped the switches, has just gotten better, still nothing to complain about.

It's a pretty solid choice if you're on a budget. I've even seen some professional players use this. Assuming you like the shape and don't mind the rubber cable, the average consumer should be able to use this no problem.

Bro Razer is very good in comparision to logitech. You'll face double click issue in logitech mice. I bought a g102 and it was done in 3 months. Just got the razer one and its going good.

And Logitech g102 has double click issues. 

Yes but still better than double click issue of Logitech g102, that's why got this

Tbh every recommendation I saw, posts and replies said razer deathadder Essential is best under 1k, also g102 sensor has been silently degraded. It's not like I can buy mouse above 1k, as I have also mentioned I needed one under 1k immediately.

Get it , I have one and I had the g203 before it , GET IT .

I use the second one. It’s decent a whole lot better than my old wired g102. But the razor might be more ergonomic imo.

You can get a brand new Logitech g402 for 6.5k and or a Logitech g102 which is cheaper , personally I'd suggest the g402 but it depends upon what kind of mouse grip you prefer

Gaming mouse wont make you god all of sudden but IMO it feels better and is more consistant + custom sensitivity and buttons You can reach 20k elo on normal office mouse but if you want gaming go ahead there are some good budget options like logitech g203

Same , bought it 2-3 years ago and it feels great

4 logi ko, 3 sa kapatid ko, lahat nagka-issue. Napapalitan ko naman ng switches.

According to your use: Pure hardcore gaming: Logitech G402 Calm casual gaming: Razer deathadder, Logitech G203 YouTuber or steamer: Razer Cobra Best budget: Kreo hawk My choice is that you should take Razer deathadder or G203 as it is cheap, provides peaceful gaming experience and provide decent aesthetics

Rakk Dasig - heavy at 90g, outdated 3325 G102 - heavy at 85g, outdated 1855 Aula SC580 - heavy and another 3325, better build quality than Rakk Dasig at least Viper Mini - 3359 is old but acceptable, high lift off distance (preference), good but relatively slow skates. Actually usable weight (60 ish grams) too bad its discontinued and there are no viper minis that arent fakes below 1k, the razer cobra (viper mini replacement) starts at 2k. Hawk 1 - avoid Garuda Gear brand as a whole, too many quality control issues Attack Shark X11 - old 3311 sensor, avoid their sub 1k mice and go straight to 3395 like their Attack Shark X3 VXE R1 - build quality issue, luck of the draw depending on the batch you get. Go straight to R1 Pro for higher chance of better QC, issues dont show up until weeks or months in use (switches or scroll wheel is usually first to show issues, shell creaking and slam clicking problems as well but those are rarer with the model I mentioned) Only mouse I would consider from that list is VXE R1, but you're better off saving 2k+ for more better options

For your budget I would suggest Razer Death Adder or Logitech G102.Let me know if you are in Bangalore, can get you good deals on these or other gaming products. I know a couple of stores..they are cheaper than Amazon,Flipkart etc. Feel free to DM.

I have G203, G305, G PRO Wireless and some other from Zowie FK2 to mx300 For CS2 i prefer G203. bz it's fastest in terms of input lag. But mine on Mercury sensor. Like dzordzLong said try some chinese wireless 3395 mouse or go for G305 (btw its not lightweigt)

nothing can compare with mx300 shape and may be sensor too. mine 5 years ago stopped working. still cant find a replacement. the closest i was able to find is g203.

In fact, any mouse for 100€ will be good if it fits you perfectly in shape. I do not recommend listening to advice from people who simply name the mouse model, this is stupid advice. We all have completely different hands. For someone, the superlight is ideal, and for someone, there is nothing better than the g102

As the title states, I have been using a G102 for 6 years continuously as I found the shape, size, and build comfortable for my hand. However I've been told by several friends that I am in dire need of an upgrade. I was recommended a Glorious Model O or a Darmoshark m3, but would love to hear any other options or opinions, preferably those in similar price ranges to the two I just mentioned. Thank you!

I got the same issue with the scroll wheel of g102... fixed it by opening the outercover of the mice and applied some WD-40 in the joint of the scroll wheel.. it works without any issues now...

I have been using my g102 for 2 years now and havent faced this problem

I liked my G203 lightsync a lot but the scroll wheel died after 1.5years of casual usage.

For some its a fun task (for me for example), for some its a torture. But it isnt hard, you do the same steps as for any other company. Its pretty hard to break anything too. I know its bad that it starts to doubleclick, but mine g203 never did. I changed them because i wanted to have lightweight switches.

I mean just swap the switches it isnt hard and very cheap if youre already into soldering or electronics, or have someone who could do it for you. G203 is especially easy to do this. Ive done it myself many times. Unfortunately my g203 case barely clicks on left button, but the pcb works flawless

Based on other comments, i think that logitech is worse and worse with time. I got my g203 in around 2018 iirc, back then it was good. People say that current g203/102 are trash compared.

I dont get people who buy expensive mouses, like, I'm happy with my Logitech G203 🫠

Honestly there's much better for just a fraction of the price more, although there's nothing wrong with the G203 was my main back in the day.

I'm sorry, but 200€ for a keyboard which feels like it's from a 2005 laptop and keycaps wear off in just a few months? The only good mice I ever had were the G102, G305 and the Superlight. Although, the Superlight's price is completely elsewhere, with the scroll wheel encoder which breaks down in months. For the software, G HUB, more like G BUG. The Superlight 2 was a let down, no weight reduction or shape improvements. I would rather see a G305 refresh with a lighter body while keeping the awesome eggy shape.

I'm surprised you haven't tried a mini ergo shape mouse. I have the skoll sk-s which is almost identical to the xlite v2 mini. That's the best small shape I've ever tried. Other small mice I've tried are the g203, orochi v2, HSK, and MM710. Another one that might work is that Xenics TITAN GE AIR if you wanted to try something completely different.

Logitech G102. Yan din ang nirecommend ni TechYesCity. Ang ganda ng pagiging fine ng sensor. Nagkadouble click issue pero umayos din on its own. I have 2. The first one is 5 yrs old, nagkadouble click issue pero umayos sya magisa. Medyo natatapyas na yung rubber sa scroll wheel dahil sa wear and tear pero gusto ko talaga ang accuracy nya. I bought another one for my other PC. It's a little less than a year old and no issues at all. Dito at dito rin talaga ako bumabalik sa model na to dahil subok ko na.

Please dont get logitech. I warn everyone for their mice. I have been a logitech user for long - g102, g304, g502, and now using g pro x superlight. But every freakin mouse gets double click issues. I thought I paid 10k for a mouse it will not have that issue but guess what - logitech doesn't cares. Go for razer please.

I don't trust redragon products, get the Logitech g102 or endgame gear op1, maybe the razer cobra

All Logitech gaming products are trash. G102 mouse died for no reason, G213 keyboard arrived with several keys dead, G512 keyboard had problems in all ctrl-shift-alt keys. Second G102 has double clicking and erratic scroll wheel behavior. Threw the keyboard after it got an acute case of getting HULK SMASHed and got a Ducky One III. I'm waiting for mouse to get itself smashed too to get a Zowie EC3. I kept getting Logitech because I had another Logitech product and didn't want to install a second peripheral program, but I managed to break the cycle. Fuck Logitech G.

I've used g102 for over 4 years without any issues.

Yup, my Logitech mouse is only a year old but has lots of issues already. From the scroll wheel acting weird (going up and down) from my left click double clicking, then lastly right click double clicking and not being able to hold down unless I use full force. Edit: Logitech G102

it depends on you, tbh. a million dollar mouse may be useless for a gamer. but a 30 dollar mouse hits your g spot. i personally use a logitech g203. perfect for me

Good mouse but the left click lost its clickyness after 6 months. Have to hard press to click. Tossed it in the garbage but it was like 20 bucks so I can’t complain

Logitech g102 for 1100 is great Don't get the g203 cause it basically a g102 with different name

IMO Logitech G203, or G305 if you want wireless, and 90% of people would be set for a good decade.

i still have my logitech g102 prodigy. other than the broken shell i inflicted myself everything still works, no double clicks and etc.

ah okay thanks. My hands are roughly the same size as yours - when I claw grip with this mouse my palm is touching the mousepad and not supported by the back , unless you use more aggressive claw. If this is a dealbreaker, I would then recommend maybe the g203

Yeah, they are so old there was even a price hike few years ago. It frustrated me a lot because I used the wired version (G102, bought from Japan) for years and was eyeing G305 for a long time but they went and upped the price in the meantime. Although after checking I am not sure if the Lightspeed version is just a rehash, because in Finnish sites G305 is just G305 without Lightspeed in the name. This is my absolute favourite mouse of all time. I made two preset DPI settings and saved them, don't use the horrible app and batteries aren't a problem for me since I use re-chargeable batteries and they last for ages anyway. I like the small form factor and the two thumb buttons are placed perfectly. My first serious gaming mouse was Razer Diamondback back in the day (2005 or so) and that formed my grip and love for smaller mice. I hate big gaming mice, they feel clunky. I am also a high-DPI player so small mouse is perfect for my.

I’ve tried a lot of gaming mice over the years and they’re all the same - high price tags, poor quality components. None of them lasted for more than a few years before they started double clicking or having scroll wheel issues. I’d recommend the basic wired Logitech G203, or G502 if you want something more ergonomic. Personally I don’t see why you’d ever need anything more than that for CS.

Logitech G102, mine's been running since 2018. I mostly play fps. Personally, I wouldn't recommend brands like cosmic byte, reddragon etc.

If you dont want to spend too much for wired i can suggest logitech g203 prodigy or razer viper mini which i used both in the past. Although wireless mouses last pretty long,if the mouse doesnt have a charging deck and just uses battery,u can buy rechargable battery pack which isnt pricey and a recharger. Im using a wireless g305 rn and the battery it came with lasted me like 6 months before it started bugging out. Ive gone through 3 batteries so far and only charged them once.

Its a decent fairly cheap mouse. I owned a g203 prodigy few years ago (dunno if its any different from lightsync or its the exact same mouse) i used it for like 3 or 4 years. I liked the mouse tbh, it was comfortable and had 0 problems with the sensor. Like other have said u could get the g305 wireless,its the exact same mouse. I recently purchased one myself but not sure if im gonna keep it or return it cause i ordered the g403 hero too. If u are buying from amazon i think the g305 is still on sale and it might be only slightly more expensive than the g203

Logitech has double click issues, I’ve had g102 Worst mouse ever

I have this mouse right now. It's amazing, and probably the best mouse I ever had. As a lol player I wouldn't call it bad for competitive games. The wire moves freely and you can adjust dpi how much you need.

G102 is in my heart forever.

Try to find an older G203 Prodigy with a Mercury sensor, or get the G305 which has a Hero sensor.

I’ve tried a bunch of mice -final mouse UL and UL mini -glorious model O -g403 -g203 -death adder -GPro wireless And I still like the g502 best

Going through that with a old G203. Switch for changing DPI now randomly trigging when gaming which is more than a little frustrating.

For casual gaming? Most definitely (have the same version as backup and it's totally fine for gaming).

God... just get urself G102 and be done with it.

to be frank depends on where you are aftersales will be a hit or miss but yea the double clicking is pretty much common to all of their mice but I have a g502 hero for a couple of months after owning an old g102/101 for 2+ years which got double clicking issues but it was

I've had my best aim era with g203 never felt that feeling again. +23 mice on my own. Ec2 feels like a glove coming fron g203. Superlighit feels comfy but the clicks arent crazy. Good luck.

G502 Proteus Spectrum FTW I use a G203 as a travel mouse and it's working great too, but I miss at least one button.

Mouse: G102 fingertip mod Mousepad: some random red dragon one we had lying around  Keyboard: Elecom vk300 I bought when I was in Japan  Game: strinova mainly and some overwatch 

I had one and bought another when the first started double-clicking because I liked it so much. Its moderately lightweight at 85g - & like others have said, pretty cheap. Only 1k polling rate but for someone non-competitive like you said, that shouldnt matter. Logitech software isnt the greatest but thats not a huge downside, its passable. All in all its an amazing budget option if you don’t care too much about high polling rate or extremely low weight! Only thing I’d recommend is maybe investing in some new mouse skates after the stock ones wear out - they aren’t the greatest. (I went with Xraypad Jade speed skates, but skates and pads are personal preference)

I guess it's time for me to ditch my G203 Lightsync cos Reddit says everything that isn't a Superlight is trash tier

Same issue on my G203 mainly scroll wheel but i figured there had to be debris in it soo i pulled out my PC Blower and focused the air onto the crevices of the Scroll wheel and it's back to where it was when i first used it

My friend and I got the [Lamzu Atlantis mini pro](https://shop.hid-labs.com/product/lamzu-atlantis-mini-pro/). It's stupid light compared to my G203/305(?)

G203/305 If logitech made a lighter weight g305 with superlight2 internals i'll never own another mouse again
